Day-Lee Mojo Arts - Animal Art & Pet Portraits by Melinda Dalke

Well, not really-hoping it will stop for a couple days to catch up on outside work. Been painting commissions and working on some new mixed media art.

There is going to be a Holiday Show at the Enid Joy Mount Gallery in Keizer, Oregon. I will have Greeting cards and original art for sale. My work will be there December 2nd to the 30th. Hope you stop by!

Now that Turtle Ridge Wildlife Center is slowing down for the Fall/Winter season I have more time to paint. I have been enjoying a painting watercolors on Yupo paper-a plastic paper-it allows me to play with the colors and add more depth to my work. I wanted to send my prayers out to all in Cali and hope all of the fires are out soon, Melinda
